1. Dana R.

“Dana was awesome. Snickers is still a puppy and has accidents and he handled her great. She also needed to take some medication for a cough that popped up a few days beforehand and he took it in stride. I’ll definitely be using Dana in the future”


2. Alyson B.


“Aly was extremely helpful when watching my cat. Made sure to keep me updated, even asked how often I’d want updates. Great environment for a dog or cat, accommodated all of my requests and I could tell my cat was happy and entertained there”


3. Alan & Ying C.


“Pretzel had a great time at Alan's! We received lots of photo and video updates during his stay. Pickup and drop off were a breeze. Looking forward to our next booking with Alan for our next trip!”


4. Jodi T.

“Jodi and her family are the absolute best - our pup has stayed with them many times now during our travels. We think he might like their house better than ours and joke that he is going to sleepover camp! Highly recommend.”


5. Ari P.

“Yaritza was everything I had hoped for … and more! Excellent communication from the first introduction all the way through Jaxon’s stay including regular updates and pictures of my happy pup. Would highly recommend and plan to book her again in the future!”


6. Alexandra & Kayomars B.

“Alexandra and Kayi are a lovely couple and great sitters. They were really easy to communicate with and we're flexible with my schedule. I received consistent daily updates with photos from them and from what I can tell, my pup Sesame loved hanging out with them as well. Will definitely be booking with them again when possible!”




7. Delayni S.

8. Qiang C.

“Qiang took very good care of my dog for 4 days while I was gone. He sent me a photo every day and was very good about communicating and responding to any questions I had.”


9. Nalix T.



“Nalix is probably the most experienced sitter that Elly has ever stayed with. She knew exactly how to handle Elly as she got adjusted to the apartment and when she showed some exhibits of resource guarding. Her apartment has a nice fenced in area outside for easy access to fetch at any point in the day. I would 100% ask Nalix to watch Elly again.”


10. Lyv N.

“Lyv was very nice and our pup really liked her! Definitely hoping to work with her again! Drop off and pick up was very easy and Lyv was communicative the whole time. I’m really glad that blueberry, Lyv’s dog and Phuch got along pretty well.”


11. Steven R.

“Steven took great care of our dog Graham for a three day stay. He sent us photos and updates throughout the stay and was very easy to communicate with.”


12. Kristin M.

“Kristin was great with Stella. She took her on many trail walks (Stella’s favorite) and didn’t seem to mind that Stella kept stealing her cat’s bed. She was also very communicative, shared lots of fun updates and photos and was quick to communicate with us when she thought Stella might be sick. We will definitely plan to use Kristin again!”


13. Molly G.

“Molly was great, responsive, and cared for Albie very well! I got great pics of him enjoying the park, playing fetch, and lounging on the patio. Your dog will be well cared for!”

“Seung is great with our dog, Casper. We always feel comfortable leaving him to stay with her and know he will be happy. Seung was super flexible too when we were running late to pick Casper up which we really appreciated.”


16. Anthony C.


“Anthony was so fantastic and patient with our little goldendoodle while we were gone, you could tell that he came back confident and happy! He’s super timid, and it meant so much that he spent the time to work with bruin and his quirks to make his stay enjoyable. He even kept him For an extra day when our flight was delayed, without questions! We would love for bruin to stay with him again ?”

“Anastasia did an amazing job caring for our dog, Bella. She asked the right questions, communicated effectively and we could tell Bella had a great time :) Thank you again!”

“I highly recommend Adriana for dog sitting/boarding! Adriana was proactive about understanding our dog's schedule and needs (as he is prone to seizures) and provided regular updates throughout our dog's stay with her. We really appreciated all of the photos she shared so that we could be reassured that he was comfortable and well taken care of. She was very responsive before the booking and throughout. We would love to have our dog stay with Adriana again in the future!”

“We used Lace for boarding service when my husband and I were out of town for 6 days. I couldn’t be happier with Lace. She gave us daily updates and very flexible with drop off and pick up. She’s very experienced with dogs and I know my dog had a great stay with her and Ty. Highly recommend her!”
